We NEED To Talk About Predecessor 

I think It’s worth pointing out that deadlock has a lot of money and studio power behind it while predecessor does not. the studio making predecessor was literally created by old fans of paragon.

I've never played a MOBA before because I wasn't a fan of the camera angle / visuals, but Predecessor visually is more satisfying. I started playing Pred to learn how to play MOBA's to prepare for Deadlock, but even after getting invited to play I haven't even tried Deadlock yet because I've been so addicted to Predecessor. Really would love to see more of Pred on your channel.

Please more Predecessor Mr Fruit! I know Deadlock is the new hotness and i do thoroughly enjoy watching the content on it, but i love predecessor and still think its a fun game.

I love Predecessor and hope it stays for the long haul!

Paragon was one of those hidden gems that after it was shutdown no other game could really recreate that feeling, Deadlock has been doing an incredible job and the game isn’t even out yet and while ima continue playing it, watching predecessor gameplay I do really love the character designs WAY more then deadlocks and while it might be an art style thing characters like narbash, revenant, severog ect are just so cool and no one really captures that feel in deadlock

this game is honestly really solid. i have ~600 hours in it, and its much more attune to a real moba compared to deadlock. if youre on the fence its free to play, so try it out!!!

Predecessor has wieght and meat behind it. A steel slam feels meaty and a grux pull has a cwrtain oof to it. Deadlock feels very frantic to me.

I've been a big fan of predecessor for a while now and it's awesome to see it get noticed by a big youtuber. I'd love to see you play more, especially since you didn't get the role you wanted

Honestly, the death of Battleborn is probably the most devastated I’ve been in gaming. I’m not someone who has a pc, so no deadlock. I want predecessor to succeed but I bounced off it. RIP Battleborn

Predecessor is a GREAT game I have never been in love with MOBAs but this game has turned that around I have played over 150 hours and it keeps me engaged and the gameplay feels so smooth for the most part it needs more players so thanks for the game play!!

As an OG paragon player being able to even play it again through predecessor is a dream come true. I hate how certain things are handled with the game but I would say it’s overall a good time and is definitely worth playing if you’re into MOBAs.

Just leaving a comment to help the algorithm get this video out there. Predecessor is loads of fun and deserves some good content.

Predecessor is made by fans. Deadlock is made my a major studio. Please keep supporting projects like this.

Paragon was my all time favorite game. I'm glad the OGs took the assets and made something amazing with it . We will continue to support Pred because they gave us back something that was taken from us after fortnite became Epics cash cow

“I’ve made a few videos on it in the best.” You’re “two chains” video made me like moba’s 😂❤

Happy to see you check this out again, if you enjoy it I'd love seeing you and Blue hop in to Predecessor. Been playing predecessor since its early beta and its a helluva good time.

I love this game, definitely not for everyone, but this game gets addicting and time consuming every game you play. The party is just getting started!

Predecessor is an unsung hero - it's the most fun I have ever had in a video game.

12:11 rust brother deep cut was outstanding! I started laughing so hard I had to rewind to see what I missed because I couldn't stop.

Honestly I've been having a blast on predecessor and our community is smaller right now but very into it and growing slowly. With consoles around 20k daily It's made by a smaller studio who can't really do much marketing as they go so stuff like this is 🔥🔥🔥 to see man. You played my main too!! GG

It nice to see more people cover and play predecesor. The game it rought around the edges, but it is definitely fun to play. I hope you continue covering it. You just earned another subscriber

Yes Fruit! Been waiting for you to play Predecessor for months. You and the boys on Pred would be hilarious.

Paragon was a part of my childhood. Then Fortnight became a thing and shot the servers down. I want Predecessor to succeed, but I really enjoy Deadlock since most of my friends play Deadlock and it manages to scratch that itch perfectly. I will stick to Deadlock since I also really like the movement there and will have Predecessor there when I want something a little different. I hope you will make some Predecessor videos but I probably would enjoy the Deadlock videos more.

YO, this is not what I was expecting! I'm oddly nostalgic for those Paragon vids (ironically Deadlock started scratching that itch again, haha), but this is awesome to see. I hadn't heard a thing about it until now though, likely overshadowed by Deadlock's success AND Concord's failure. Is Blue playing/Will he be?

One thing I hope Predecessor adds, coming from Deadlock, is the 'browse build' feature. where people can find builds others made with a click of a button and well...make it on the game.

Tried this out as cope since I don’t have a pc for deadlock. As my first MOBA it’s very fun, but man I feel dumb trying to learn it.

Been Loving Predecessor! Couldn't really get into deadlock tbh. Would love to see more videos of Predecessor! there's a patch coming out October 1st with a new original hero would love to see you play it!

I knew you'd come back to this game after deadlocks' success! I've been really loving this content. I always loved the paragon videos!

Been a pred player since the stress test beta (before early access). I've loved it for quite a while until recently. The entire time I was waiting for a ramp up in content production but it's actually slowed down. I pretty much no longer play the game especially with Deadlock in the picture. Deadlock, in my opinion is much closer to what Predecessor should have been. It's like they actually listened to the community feedback and used it. The community has complained about a small cramped map with terrible jungle minions, very little mechanics, not much skill expression, no verticality (even though it looks like there is), and slow content patches. Not all of this was apparent to me until Deadlock came out, and I would also say that Valve is also just very fast. Predecessor is stuck in the past and has been trying to revive Paragon when it's should've created a new and excited/challenging game. The game is extremely stale right now and I see no hope for the game unless they can fundamentally make the game more exciting. Right now it's one of the easiest mobas on the market right now. Edit: I do think this game is thriving on the console market right now. Not many games like this, other than Smite, for console players; so I'm sure they're eating it up right now.

Predecessor really does look well built and fun. I hope it finds its fanbase and maintains a solid playerbase because it's cool and the devs have done an amazing job. But MAN, they got shafted again. First Fortnite, now Deadlock. This game just can't catch a break.

i will say with my friends we have been playing predecessor in the beta for a while and even with deadlock being out we still find ourselves coming backa nd playing pred for hours! i really hope you will continue to learn the game and i know playing multiple mobas is very time consuming but i'd love to see you more on this game!

funniest part about 5:55 is that Revenant is his pfp too lmao

MORE MISTAH FROOT!!!

predecessor was 10x more fun than deadlock to me for somone who prefers fps and never plays moba, just too many gimmicks in deadlock plus the jungle role in pred gives me so much agency and actual impactful decisionmaking

Glad you played predecessor!!! it needs more recognition. would love for you to post more pred content

Please more predecessor, this game is goated

Predecessor is fun and I loved paragon as well. I think compared to Deadlock it feels a bit outdated but if the devs keep working on this title a few more years it could become something special.

6:08 one thing that predecessor and deadlock have in common lol

Predecessor may live and I want that… but the paraGONE memes will never die on my watch

really hope predecessor gets the attention and growth it deserves, I've enjoyed it a lot the past few months and its been much easier to learn than deadlock for me

Love seeing you pay this game. You got me into Paragon years a go and gave loved the game ever since! :)

Once again the editing at 1:25 got me lmao. Love the editing style on these last couple of videos

As someone with zero MOBA experience before Deadlock, I’m interested in watching Fruit and friends play Predecessor, but, idk, it just seems slower and with a less interesting art style than other similar games. I also just don’t hear about it much except in comparison to its bigger moba cousins.

As someone who played paragon, I love pred. It’s not perfect, but it definitely scratches the itch.

I'm so down for this content! I loved this game and enjoyed seeing you play it! I would love to see you play some of these heros!

It sucks that Deadlock and Predecessor have to be competing because I honestly really like watching Predecessor so much more than Deadlock and hopefully people give it a chance!

There’s something about the gamba music with fireworks that gets me every time

I used to play Paragon and I've played Predecessor since day one of the tech test, I'd love to see more videos on this game!

I want Predecessor to do well because its still great fun but man what awful timing on 1.0

Art wise looks better than deadlock ngl

Love predecessor, it feels like your choices on the objectives really matter. Deadlock is too chaotic for me.

I just tried it today for a couple of games! I haven't really played a moba before so I like how this game splits the lanes into the different classes and generally tells you what to do. Also its on console so thats a plus

I hope Predecessor sticks around. I'm always having a blast.

I don't know if it is how much Deadlock that I've watched or if it actually just makes more sense to me. But the play style and objectives in Deadlock makes more sense than the ones in Predecessor to me.

That’s actually wild that auto buy gets you Penumbra on Zarus. Understandable, but wild.

THE BROTHER CALL BACK MY MAN IS AN EDITTING GOD 12:10

Where the hell is Blue?!

Its because that predecessor is using decade old fomula, completely unoriginal with added third person perspective, whild deadlock have lots of innovations,the fast transit line, forward shop, skill customisation and enhancement instead of purely rely on equipment for power raise, and generally faster pace that doesnt let people steamroll too much with minor early game advantage

Important note; Predecessor is FULL cross-Platform, PS5, PC & X-box can all play together seamlessly, Deadlock is PC only so only high fidelity moba on console is predecessor ❤ ( Free-To-Play ) + advise the AI 5v5 mode to learn map and abilities in a more relaxed environment 😊 + Brawl is quick and fun mode

Predecessor content omg

Here's the thing about Deadlock: Deadlock is what it looks like when a massive studio says "What if we put moba elements in a hero shooter?". Paragon answered the question of "What if we made a 3d moba?" They are very different games and I feel Deadlock appeals to more people as it is more similar to Overwatch than Smite while Predecessor is the other way around. I prefer Predecessor as I have missed Paragon since the servers when down and I never much cared for hero shooters in comparison. If you prefer Overwatch to Smite, then Deadlock is for you.

E and my friends have been playing it a lot. It’s a good moba. I think it’s just as if not better balanced then paragon. Worth it if ur a fan of MOBAs

Parago crawled so Predecessor could walk and Predecessor walked so Deadlock could run

Predecessor my first MOBA. Others never pulled me in. I absolutely love Pred!!!

The real reason games blow up is based on content creation from streamers. If big streamers would have tried pred out and hyped it up (lying or not), then put out gameplay every once in a while. That would increase the numbers more than anything. With that being said thanks for covering the game fruit

Its so interesting to watch a clearly skilled player play this game. I have loved this since it was Paragon and am so happy to be able to play it again. The graphics and gameplay are so fun...to any new players...yes it is a lot to learn and get used to but can be so addicting, and when you find others to play with it makes the game that much more enjoyable. Love seeing Pred continue to grow and get noticed :)

For me on Xbox this is the first MOBA I’ve ever played and it’s pretty fun so far, only been playing a few days now tho

People forgot to talk about the real victim in the 3rd Person MOBA space, Smite 2. That game got slammed by both Predecessor and Deadlock. Smite 2 is still in closed alpha like Deadlock, but Deadlock plays and feels like a better game while Predecessor is a complete product.

right now Predecessor is the only game that is making me sit in front of my pc and play, i love it! Hope it stays

Im PRAYING that Pred doesnt die because I was begging for this game to come back since the day it left and Ive been enjoying every minute of it.

You got me into Paragon initially when i found your video at random and It/predecessor have been my favorite games of all time since. Regardless of what happens thanks for bringing me here Man

I enjoyed this, but I have been loving your Deadlock stuff. I hope you try Smite 2, even though I doubt it will overtake Deadlock, just to get your feel for it. I played a good bit of Smite 1, and it is the MOBA style game I am most familiar with, so I am just curious is all. Either way I really enjoy the channel and I hope you continue to recover, both physically, and mentally. Big vibes to you.

Been playing for a month or Two mainly jungle and midlane. But all roles feel good I haven't played a character that inherently feels bad, but the server connection has been uneasy.

Even when he plays Predecessor he’s talking about Deadlock the whole time. Truly addicted…

After Paragon went to the grave no other online game have filled that void, Predecesor makes my heart whole again. Brawl game mode is pretty good too for times when you just want a more casual and quick match.

TBH Pred runs like a dream compared to Smite 2, I might go back to it

Paragon was amazing, and happy they came back

I was thinking of this game while playing deadlock, unfortunately I think most of the new people who would play predecessor would likely just play deadlock I'm not confident in this game's future

Predecessor definitely isn't dead its got the most players its ever had over the last month with over 2 million players even before 1.0 release

I would love to see more Pred content! It's my first moba and I fell in love instantly. It has the same toxicity problems as every other moba but the gamefeel is just phenomenal

Yes , at 3:30 or something, jungle does level slower. Also you can use the olants to jump part of the map

Vid recommended because of watching pred content. After playing both I think I prefer Predecessor. The game feels polished and looks amazing. The only worry is taking care of toxicity with leavings or int’ers and lack of marketing to bring in new players. Balance is pretty good and so the devs are pretty transparent. Really hope to see you play some more. I’ll be back.

I JUST got back into the game yesterday. Found the game through your paragon vids, would love to see more if deadlock slows down

I’d love if you got into pred, my fav game and fav RU-vidr together!

I found your channel through your paragon gameplay

Recently discovered Predecessor on Xbox and it’s absolutely insane to think that I’d never know about this game if Xbox hadn’t recommended it to me on my home page. It’s extremely fun and very different from my usually choice of game being Fps. I’m pretty horrible at the game but it is genuinely fun and feels very rewarding when you win team fights or manage to take your lane’s enemy or enemies down. The only similar game I’ve played is Smite but I much prefer Predecessor. Would love to try deadlock but unfortunately it’s not on console and I’ve heard it will never come to console. Hopefully that changes but we’ll just have to wait and see.

I like the thumbnail change, he was way more memorable than braveheart red face girl.

I love this game so much. Loved Paragon and just found out 1.0 essentially revived it on Console and I haven’t stoped playing it! It really needs a new map

Predecessor is the only game i keep coming back to. Easy to just get on and play for me. After paragon got shut down, i learned my lesson. Gotta keep this one alive

Think what deadlock has done so incredibly well is how easy it is to pick up, all it’s items are pretty simple, abilities are clear and massive plus is the in game build guides. If games like Predecessor and Smite II had this could be a great time for MOBA’s

I loved Paragon, and I've been watching Predecessor's development. What's holding me back from playing either it or Deadlock is I've got a 13 year old PC that's on its last legs...

Paragon isn't ParaGONE yet. Long may she reign. Bring back the Revenant Fruit, cowboy shooter to your bones.

Paragon is the most fun I've ever had in a moba. I don't play Predecessor or the other one simply because it doesn't really have the player base or staying power that Deadlock has, which is why I'm so excited for that. While I am sad that I won't be seeing much more of Paragon, it'll be remembered forever, and we have Deadlock to fill that void

Ever since Paragon shut down smite filled the whole paragon left, But the moment predecessor Alfa came out I didn’t hesitate to drop years of smite just for this game. I will stay loyal !!!!!!

Paragon was the first MOBA I ever played. 100% because it wasn't top down. Paragon died so Deadlock could thrive

Please make more Pred videos. I loved Paragon and I love Predecessor and it for sure needs a bigger name to get a bit more of a foothold, it’s so much fun when the game is going right we gotta see you carry

the problem with pred is the abysmally slow updates/content release. yes they are a small company but this isnt like not shopping at walmart cuz you dont want to support big companies... if the game is a live service game it needs to pump out enough content for people to stay entertained. currently for me they arent.

Having never played a MOBA, I never really felt the desire to try one until Deadlock. It just looked fun to play moment-to-moment, whereas Paragon/Predecessor just looks like a MOBA from a different camera angle I still enjoy watching it for the cahntent but it just doesn't make me want to try it out like the first Deadlock videos did

I've been waiting a super long time for Predecessor to succeed, but since they don't have any oceanic servers, it's impossible to play. That's why I've basically dropped it for Deadlock since it properly came out. I can't deal with how frustrating Predecessor is to play with ping vs. Deadlock being silky smooth

Real talk, I really only see this game thriving on console since I see it's biggest competition there being Smite and I don't hear much about that anymore either since a large chunk of their community is on PC and they also bounced to Deadlock, thus the cycle continues!
